Supplemental Information

Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy databasemaintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). Thedesign of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC ContentStandard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact informationaccurately represents all available information from the legacy databaseat the time that this description was created. However, properattribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting orcollecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexactmapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to thisuncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in theSupplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, the NODC reviews metadata for allaccessions on an ongoing basis.

This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
